Konerko on the Griffey trade: "This is just the business I'm in. I've been on the good side of a lot of things with this business. I'm pretty sure it will cut playing time, so I'll just do what's asked of me. I don't know what, where or whenever, but I'll just do what's asked of me. That's it. Make the best of it. We've got a good team here, just help when I can help, that's all I can do.''

“Everyone is on the same page here,’’ Konerko said. “It’s all about winning. After 2005, the bar gets changed. Anything short of getting to the playoffs and having a crack at it is a failure of a season. This organization is in a good place right now. First things first, we need to win the division, but we have a bulk of players in here that have been to the World Series and know what it takes to win. Once you get that taste you want to do it again.’‘

was asked about the trade before it happened?

consulted? not sure. given a head's up? likely.
regardless, it’s fair to criticize his play. but then to knock him for his cliched, all-for-one, one-for-all remarks on the back end is lame. if he would have said something indicating he wanted to be in the lineup every day, people would have bitched about his selfishness. if he wouldn’t have said anything, people would have bitched because he was sulking. as long as he’s not gidp’ing or popping up everything, cut the guy a little slack on his attitude.

He's supposed to say the cliches - he's the Captain, he's a 5/10 year guy,
and he has a long-term contract. Not knocking him, but not praising him, either, for not being a jerk. No one has ever mistreated him as a Sox. He’s never been “Paulie being Paulie”, and there’s no reason to congratulate him for being himself.
Fer Chrissakes, I’ve supported PK all along (until he went on the DL and we went 13-7 without him). Take a rest, see a shrink, get some physical rehab, and don’t rock the boat. Glad he’s following the script, but no need to call my response “lame” because his behavior is expected.

a guy making twelve million to play baseball doesn't deserve much slack, if any
it is not as though he made a valiant, but failing, effort at solving the energy crisis and then was cast aside. he was sucking balls at a kids game while banking copious amounts of cash. his statement, well politically polished, makes him look like the same defeated loser as his play on the field was doing.

Here’s a juicy one. Word is Williams would have only traded shortstop Orlando Cabrera to one team, the Orioles. Sounds like the Sox were close to getting second baseman Brian Roberts. Alexei Ramirez would have moved to short.With Nick Masset now with the Reds, the Sox are going to try getting by with 11 pitchers until Sept. 1, when rosters can expand.
Look for rookie Clayton Richard to move to the pen when Jose Contreras comes off the DL and starts against Boston, most likely on Saturday.
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Damn, that sucks...
Roberts leading off with Griffey batting second would have been sweet.

the swing too?
At age 38, Griffey has lost a lot—that short, sweet swing has developed wrinkles, making it tough for him to catch up with fastballs. His speed and range in the outfield have diminished. Despite playing in one of the majors’ most homer-friendly ballparks, Griffey had only 15 homers and a .245 batting average when he was dealt to the White Sox, who surprised the Reds with their interest in him.http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=225119
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
batting 7th?
Griffey is expected to join the White Sox today and be in the lineup against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Ozzie Guillen said Griffey is likely to bat seventh.http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=224680
....
With Griffey on board, two slumping Sox hitters – Paul Konerko and Swisher – are facing a platoon situation at first base. Had either Konerko or Swisher hit with more authority during the first four months of the season, the Griffey trade probably doesn’t happen.
the 1st base platoon isn’t a quote but I hope the writer knows something…
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
I hope he is right.
Right now I will take either Swisher or Konerko on the bench, with Griffey batting seventh. Worth a shot…lets see if that swing can at least hit Royals pitching.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
I suspect he will be in CF tonight,
which would put Swisher at 1B (Hochevar tonight) and Konerko on the bench.
The hope is that either: (1) Ozzie figures it out quick, before Junior breaks in half, or (2) we end up with a mid-50’s Yankees type situation where everyone plays somewhere different everyday and the lineup is never the same. That would actually be kind of fun.

It has been widely reported that the Sox are picking up half of the roughly $4 million remaining on Griffey’s contract this season, but they are only paying the prorated minimum salary ($390,000).http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=224680The White Sox also agreed to pay half of Griffey’s $4 million buyout for 2009. Griffey has a $16.5 million option for next season, but there is no chance that’s going to be exercised.
if $4 million remains but the sox only pay $400k, do the reds the $4 mil – $400k?

right.
you know, when i make my statements, unlike you, i actually give thought to something further on than my next meal. liriano was always going to be called up by august 1.
sweet. let's sign willie mays, too. he’ll suck but it’s willie. fucking. mays.
So the Twins are still going to regress, right?
I believe that is the bandwagon you have been on all along.

why by aug 1? any particular reason for this date?
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
trade deadline. the twins obviously wanted some putz to take livan off their hands.

Why not?
We’d be saving them 2M + giving them two “prospects”, cough cough

Injury update
Injured starting pitcher Jose Contreras (elbow tendinitis) is ready to go on a minor-league rehab assignment and pitch Sunday after throwing off the mound Thursday.http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=224933“To make a long story short, he could not have been better,’’ said pitching coach Don Cooper. “Everything, stretch, full windup, rhythm, tempo, all the pitches, location, times to the plate. Everything could not have gone any better.’‘
Injured third baseman Joe Crede (back) headed to Class AAA Charlotte and is expected to play for the Sox on Wednesday.

According to La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Twins are expected to designate Livan Hernandez for assignment today to make room for Francisco Liriano. The Twins are prepared to eat the remaining $1.66MM on Hernandez’s contract.http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/08/livan-hernandez.html

The Day Where The Dodgers Ruined Everyone's Deadline

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Here’s the White Sox’s lineup Friday night at Kansas City:
Cabrera ss
Pierzynski c
Quentin lf
Dye rf
Thome dh
Ramirez 2b
Griffey cf
Swisher 1b
Uribe 3b
Vazquez p
Griffey will wear jersey number 17 Friday night, and then switch to 30 on Saturday. Nick Swisher will wear No. 30 Friday night, then switch to No. 1 on Saturday.
sweet. let's sign willie mays, too. he’ll suck but it’s willie. fucking. mays.
Him donning that jersey, even if just the once, can only bode poorly.
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
Griffey is playing CF?
No fucking way! Colintj assured me that Kenny and Ozzie were not stupid enough to throw Junior in CF!
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
Again, they've been busy...
they probably are yet to receive Colin’s email.
Don’t worry, once Ozzie logs into hotmail, it should be solved.

An email won't matter...
It’s pretty obvious now that Kenny specifically acquired Griffey to play CF and DH some. Kenny apparently thinks that CF is easier to play than the corners according to his comments after the trade. He is like an autistic kid trying to forcefully connect puzzle pieces that don’t match.

I was kidding.
har.
All that said, our autistic GM will end up breaking the piece to make it fit. He probably will not last 2 weeks (Colin?) in CF before getting injured.

oh, wait.
sweet. let's sign willie mays, too. he’ll suck but it’s willie. fucking. mays.
Griffey will then switch to 1 on Sunday,
causing Swisher to switch to wearing 20, and Carlos Quentin to change to wearing only the two ’..’s that CC Sabbathia left behind in Cleveland.
All other players will wear only the CheAlexi shirt (no pants)—except Alexi himself, who will play naked, but with a picture of Rowand carved into his chest.

This is going to be a magical 2 months
I was a multiple time all star throughout my little league career. Won 5 championships- 4 in a row- thats more in a row than MJ… (kenwo4life@aol.com)
I will be watching the Sox bat...
then I will switch over to any other channel when they are playing defense.

I think you mean "defense".
I find myself agreeing with you occasionally over the past couple of days, which I find somewhat troubling—as if I had just realized I agree with W about something.

you are expecting the defense to become the new biggest joke in baseball?

this doesn't make sense.
if the sox offense, defense, and bullpen are the biggest jokes in baseball, in descending order, the team must be the most overachieving of all-time.

Nah, we are definitely not doomed because of this trade.
If it goes bad, we’re back to the same team we were – that team who’s been in first the whole season.

more on that game.
daryl boston was playing center that day for the sox. according to retrosheet, both inside the park homers occurred after balls were hit to center field. also, billy beane was playing lf for the twins in that game.
the twins/beane/old griffey issues might be too much to overcome.
